Back in August, we announced that we had begun work on an ECO3-funded energy efficiency project for Broxtowe Borough Council, procured via Efficiency East Midlands. This involves installing PermaRock external wall insulation to 61 properties.
Work is now approximately two-thirds complete and still progressing quickly. The team is on track for finishing the scheme on or ahead of schedule
SBS is approaching the end of another successful scheme; this one for Stoke-on-Trent City Council. The work began in summer 2019 and came via Lot 3 of the council's General Building Works contract.
The scheme featured works on a variety of different property types on the Weston Coyney Estate, including four blocks of flats, 2- and 3-bedroomed semi-detached houses, and 1- and 2-bedroomed bungalows. The improvements varied by property but included:
In recent years, SBS has carried out numerous works for Wrexham County Borough Council, the most recent of which has been the newly completed re-roofing and external insulation scheme at Plas Madoc.
However, SBS staff have remained on site because, as the last scheme was finishing, so we received confirmation that we had won additional new contracts in the same area and for the same client.
In October 2019, a new client - Swansea City and County Council - awarded SBS a new external wall insulation project, which is due to begin in January 2020.
In November, we announced that SBS had started work on site for Denbighshire County Council, and that one of our first steps was to appoint Aleta Braia as the local tenant liaison officer.
Aleta has been busy communicating with local residents and keeping people informed about the re-roofing and energy efficiency works that will be taking place. And although 'wildlife champion' was one of the roles not specifically listed in her job description, she has been quick to include that amongst her responsibilities.
